The title is "around the world in a Ford GT"........it doesn't say which, or how many GTs. I/we can always buy another. Had pretty good luck buying GTs.

What's this????

Hey is that GTJIMMY Jr. with Derek Bell in a GT 40?
Are they trying to drive "around the world" like Nardo & GT Joey? No, maybe just around Sebring Raceway at MAX-SPEED!

I asked him if Derek was cracking jokes while they did their Hot Laps. He said Derek was pretty quiet and focused on hitting every apex so they could keep the Corvette driven by Johnnie O'Connell right behind them where it belonged!
